Beryl Markham, West of the Night (1942) What does it refer to? A map! Full quote: "A map says to you, 'Read me carefully, follow me closely, doubt me not.' It says, 'I am the earth in the palm of your hand. Without me you are alone and lost.' . . . Here is your map. Unfold it, follow it, then throw it away, if you will. It is only paper. It is only paper and ink, but if you think a little, if you pause a moment, you will see that these two things have seldom joined to make a document so modest and yet so full with histories of hope or sagas of conquest."                                                                   Beryl Markham, West of the Night (1942)
